What's going on?

The Big Knit is back - as of this week 650,000 little wooly hats
will be adorning our smoothie bottles to help raise money for Age
UK. All of the hats are knitted by real people who kindly send them
in to us, and 25p per hatted bottle sold is donated to Age UK to
help make winter a little warmer for older people across the UK.
We're set to smash the £1m mark this year of total money raised
through the campaign's history so we thought we'd make a little
video about how it all started.

We asked our Facebook fans to suggest some random words for town
crier Alistair to build into a cry. We were sent a load of truly
random words ranging from 'rambunctious' to 'endoplasmic' to 'big
girls are beautiful'. We asked Alistair to try and build 5 into his
cry. The result is... well, see for yourself and share amongst
friends. It's not the kind of thing you see everyday.

Our Tansy normally spends her days keeping the innocent creative
team running smoothly and collecting used coffee mugs on her desk.
This week she's swapped her Sharpie and notebook for warm clothing
and hiking boots as she takes on the Pyrenees, hiking for 10.5
hours a day all in aid of the Romilly Forshall Foundation.

Somehow she managed to get mobile reception and send these quick
snaps of the Pyrenees and some rocks.

Sorry if this seems a bit nosy. By law, we have to ask for your date of birth to check that you're over 12 years old. If you're 12 or under, please ask a parent or guardian to do this bit for you. Thanks very much.
